Western Bulldogs odds

After an unlikely and inspirational 2016 AFL Premiership victory, the Western Bulldogs have fallen back into old habits.

With a significant portion of their flag-winning side now either retired or playing elsewhere, there are big questions over whether the Dogs can climb back into finals contention in the near future.

What does the season ahead hold for the 2016 premiers? Let’s take a look at the latest AFL odds and futures markets for the upcoming season.

Best Western Bulldogs bets for the 2018 AFL season

Where are the best Western Bulldogs bets in the AFL futures markets that matter?

• Bulldogs 2018 premiership betting

  After 2016, we know that you can never write the Bulldogs off.

  But we’re tempted.

  In 2016, the Bulldogs high-pressure, handball-happy game plan took the competition by storm. An exciting young group was complemented perfectly by grizzled veterans and a perfect finals run culminated in the club’s first premiership in 62 years.

  The football world thought the Dogs were on the road to a dynasty – but the pups enjoyed themselves too much and 2017 was a let-down.

  At $23 at Sportsbet.com.au, the Dogs have value. Their very best is capable of a premiership and it’s a tough season to highlight a clear front runner.

• Top 8 betting
  At $1.90 to make the finals, the Dogs provide some serious value.

  Surely, the premiership hangover and injuries that plagued them in 2017 won’t drag on for a second year. If the Dogs remain fit and get the natural improvement you’d expect out of their young stars, finals will be almost a lock. Include the $1.90 in your multis.

• Brownlow Medal betting
  The man the Bulldogs will pin their hopes on this year is Marcus Bontempelli. The Bont has been a revelation in the first four seasons of his career, winning the Rising Star, being a key player in a premiership season and already contending for the Brownlow Medal. If the Bulldogs win more than 12 games, the $12 for Bontempelli to win the Brownlow is going to start looking like an absolute gift. The Dogs star will start in the midfield, float forward and create havoc – the same recipe that saw Dustin Martin win the medal last season.
• Rising Star betting
  While the Dogs have a young and exciting list, there’s no one we can seriously recommend for the 2018 Rising Star Award.

  The shortest in the market is young key defender Aaron Naughton, who is yet to play a game. While it’s not impossible for key defenders to win this award, Naughton would need to break into the team early, play out the entire season and beat some of the game’s best forwards to attract attention – all of which we find unlikely.

• Coleman Medal betting
  
  Don’t include any Bulldogs in your Coleman Medal betting this year. It’s just not happening.

  Luke Beveridge has always leaned towards a forward line that spreads the goal-kicking load and 2018 will be no different. Big forward/ruck Tom Boyd is the shortest in the market at $101, but we don’t expect him to play enough out of the goal square to warrant a bet.
